"Secret Language" lyrics

Faking the dream, the true American grit
I'll admit, I'm a bit of a mess
'Cause I'm fragile and tired, wounded and weak
And my words are a useless defense

You put your palm out and spit like a proud idiot
Gave a speech and then charmed me to bed
If only I could exist without it leaving my lips
And my touch was enough to confess

All the ways I say it
In a secret language
Did you hear what my words couldn't tell?
I keep it all to myself

Well the anthem is dead, so I send you a song to believe
With a hand on my chest
But I don't think it's funny, no honey, I'm truly sincere
And I'm trying my best

Arms over armor, you're going in deep
Fell asleep with our bodies undressed
It's so hard to let go, it's so hard to let in
But you seduce what I always suppress

All the ways I say it
In a secret language
Did you hear what my words couldn't tell?
I love you, I say it
In a secret language
Did you hear what my words couldn't tell?
I keep it all to myself

All the ways I say it
In a secret language
Did you hear what my words couldn't tell?
I love you, I say it
In a secret language
Did you hear what my words couldn't tell?
I keep it all to myself
